Product Introduction

Shelcal K Tablet is a nutritional supplement containing calcium, calcitriol, and vitamin K2-7. It is used to treat nutritional deficiencies.

Calcium is essential for bone health and the proper functioning of cells, nerves, and muscles. It is used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency and may be given for certain bone conditions such as osteoporosis. Calcitriol is a synthetic derivative of vitamin D3 that aids in treating metabolic bone disease and calcium insufficiency. Vitamin K2-7 promotes calcium transfer from the bloodstream into bone, which helps maintain bone density.
